Never saw that before. There are actually 45 times JAH is used for God. Any ideas on why God is called that?

Isa 37:38, And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god (elohiym), that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead. Judg 11:24, Wilt not thou possess that...

Why do you keep calling Jesus the son of God? Is it just because that's what the scriptures call him about 40 times? :)

Despite his not being God, Jesus was nothing at all like Mohamed. I'm pretty sure that Mohamed sinned at some point in his life. In fact, thanks to Adam, he came into this world with a sin nature, so he, like the rest of us, was bound to sin and did sin. Jesus, on the other hand, came into this...

No. I'm non-denominational. I guess it used to be that JW was pretty much the only people who didn't think Jesus was God. Today, there are more and more Christians who are not JW that are beginning to understand that Jesus was the son of God.

Yes, and it would also make no sense that Jesus was tempted just like the rest of us. I think having a consciousness of being God would render any temptation meaningless. I sure don't feel like I'm God when temptation comes my way. Then, being tempted just like me, neither did Jesus. In any...

Where does it say that? Romans 10:9-10 tells us how to get saved and it says nothing about a God the Son. Just read it: Rom 10:9-10, 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For...

Don't forget: Matt 5:14, Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. The Jews to whom Jesus spoke these words are also God?

That's the verse that proves I'm going to burn in hell because I believe Jesus is son of God, my Lord, and that God raised him from the dead?

Exactly! It's so simple. If we know who the two main characters are, Jesus and God, the story makes way more sense. In fact, making the two into one all but makes the Bible unintelligible.

Then you should be able to find a clear verse that says I'm going to burn in hell for believing that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead (Rom 10:9-10)?

If Corinthians said, "...yet for us there is one God, who is the Father, from Whom are all things and for Whom we exist, and who is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things and through Whom we exist." you might have something. But those words "who is" are not there. Even if "who is"...

Acts 2:36, Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. This verse says God made Jesus both Lord and Christ, i.e., our savior. It says nothing about Jesus being God. In fact, if Jesus is God, it would be...

Jesus said we can do the works he did and even greater works. We also will be raised from the dead.

Very well said. Reminds me of: Heb 11:6, But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. We have Christ in us (Col 1:27) and God was in Christ (2 Cor 5:19).

I was just wondering if you are like many, if not most, who think that belief in Jesus being God is a requirement for salvation. I guess I could have just asked you that straightaway instead of beating around the bush. :)

I totally agree with your first paragraph. I will add that the reason we don't see the promise of doing greater works is a simple matter of unbelief. Matt 13:58, And he (Jesus) did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Even Jesus was stymied by the lack of belief in that...

Do you think I'm your brother? Phil 2:1-4, 1 If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. 3 [Let]...

No. Bye.

That fact that Jesus supposedly talked about his existence is not preexistence? How do you define preexistence?
